Bot does not respond to other users on Facebook Channel - facebook

I have a bot that was developed using the Microsoft Bot Framework and it has a Facebook channel. If I chat to it using the Facebook profile of the user who created it (the Facebook app that is linked to the bot), it responds. But if I try another user, it does nothing.
What could be causing this?

Facebook Bots have to be reviewed by Facebook before they are available to anyone other than page admins and the app developers. You can find more details on their development pages
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/app-review

You have to set your Facebook app as Public, by default your Facebook app is in development and it is not available to the public.

My api.ai bot is NOT communicating with other users on facebook

i made a demo bot (Free version) on Api.ai and integrated it with facebook but the problem is that it doesnt't respond to anyone else except me?
Maybe it is because of the fact that i created the facebook page from my account and generated page access token...
But How can i make my bot to communicate with other users too??
The bot on facebook will only respond to people you specifically add as admins or testers of your bot on developers.facebook.com.
If you want to make it available to anyone, you need to request facebook's approval for pages_messaging on developers.facebook.com and it will take a couple of days.

How to add blogger's RSS feed to facebook profile/page

I have a blog and I want that whatever is posted in the blog should get directly posted on my facebook profile/page. Basically I wish to post my blog's RSS feed to my facebook profile/page. I used RSS Graffiti to accomplish the task but somehow it seems like that isn't working.
You should forget about the user profile for that. First of all, you are not allowed to use the user profile for commercial reasons, it´s ONLY a user profile, for you and your friends, not a platform to advertise. And then there´s the problem with the Access Token. An Extended User Token lasts for 60 days, so you would have to refresh it every 2 months if you want to autopost stuff to Facebook.
Now for your Facebook Page, you can create an Extended Page Token that lasts forever. The rest is explained in the Facebook docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/page/feed#publish
In general, you need to use a Page Token with publish_actions to post to the /page-id/feed endpoint.
Information about Access Tokens and how to generate and extend them:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/
At this point, Facebook does not let you add an RSS feed to automatically do that.
I would recommend using a tool like IFTTT which does it very well!
Facebook between 2009-2011 had a feature which allowed you to add blog feeds from any format to your profile so it would publish. It was later introduced into Facebook Pages and some how discontinued in the main profiles of users on Facebook, so that businesses appear as businesses and everyone else appears as everyone else, since currently on my profile on Facebook, my content from Flickr, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and my other accounts are automatically published to my main Facebook profile. This is because I signed up and started using Facebook in 2009 to the current date.
What really annoys me is that there is so much info online about how to do this but I have to say is that Facebook can easily adjust it's service to include RSS Feeds in it's platform through the app http:// facebook .com/apps/feed , which basically shows your updates from the games you play on Facebook, which is annoying that Facebook hasn't even got round to replacing RSS Feeds into profiles.
I'll send some support requests to Facebook (lets say tons of support requests) and I'll ask them to add it back in because other users are slightly annoyed. I'm annoyed with the childish icons that they have (including the icon for the Instagram app, which, yes, is owned by Facebook).
Another way is by connecting your apps that you use to your Facebook account by going to either the respective app in Facebook itself or by finding the setting Connect To Facebook in the Settings of your accounts on other Third-Party services. As an example, you can use PlayStation Network (PSN) by connecting your PlayStation account to your Facebook through the PS4 itself by going into Settings > Account Settings > Link Services > Facebook and then type in your login details, as usual. This will log you and keep you signed into your Facebook account on your PSN account. This means that everytime you interact with PSN by the associated Facebook service, your interaction is posted to Facebook based on the settings whether it's set to post as Private or Public. This means that everytime you play a game or decide to setup a Live Stream, your post is posted to Facebook from the PS4 automatically. Same method could also work with Blogger app for Facebook by connecting your Facebook to your Blogger account (in Google+ settings if you've switched to the new profile interface). So it's possible, yes, in other apps now more than before so it's also the reason for why Facebook probably removed Feeds.
If anyone wants to see my updates from my connected apps and connected data, you can follow my Public hashtag posts at http://facebook.com/search/top/?q=%23warrenwoodhouse and you can follow the same hashtag on every service available including PSN, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Google Search, Google Images, Google Videos, YouTube, YouTube Gaming, Instagram, Flickr and other services. If you're interested in seeing my full feed updates, I've created a nice feed on FeedBurner at http:// feeds. feedburner .com/warrenwoodhouse

Can Facebook SDK allow for iOS app (linked with a facebook app) to post directly to a particular page?

I am trying to make an iOS app integrated with the Facebook SDK that allows the user to post directly to a facebook group page and receive updates directly from the group page through the app, as an alternative to the facebook app.
I know that the Facebook dialog class in the latest SDK allows us to share a status directly to one's wall but I have yet to find a way to post it to a page other than the user's wall. Is there a way to gain access to a facebook group page and retrieve the posts from the page and also post directly to it?

How to post in facebook fanpage automatically from my website?

How to post in facebook fanpage automatically from my website ?
for example when i update new post in my website and i need to post in facebook fan page automatically....
I believe Facebook offers a certain number of APIs which would allow you to integrate Facebook into your own website to some degree; you can always try their dev centre.As far as I know, however, you can only post to Facebook through social networks like Twitter (see: linking a Twitter account to Facebook), or through Facebook apps you've developed yourself.
You need to create facebook app and use the app secret key and and API key in facebook SDK
script for automatic posting. for more details click the following link. I think this may help you. http://www.damnsemicolon.com/php/auto-post-facebook-with-facebook-sdk

Implementing comments and notifications using Facebook plugins

I have a reviews website where I want to integrate Facebook social plugins. I initially thought of integrating facebook comment plugin where users can write their reviews for the products I have listed on my site. But that seemed like laying waste to my own review functionality.
Here's the flow I came up with:
create a facebook app for the website
Users write a review and post it to their facebook profile
When some action happens on the review like when it is voted up or replied to, the user who posted the review to facebook gets notified via the facebook notification center
I fetch the likes, replies on facebook post and display them on my website on the review
Is it possible to implement this workflow? I basically want to send notifications to user from inside my website not from the facebook application I created.
This is possible using apprequests. One requirement for this to work is your website and facebook canvas app must be registered under the same 'app' (ie have the same appID) and be under the same base domain.
